Methods for enhancing immune checkpoint blockade therapy by modulating the microbiome

ABSTRACT

Provided herein are methods and compositions for the treatment of cancer by modulating the microbiome to enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade. The microbiome may be modulated by the administration of butyrate and/or butyrate-producing bacteria. Also provided herein are methods of determining a response to an immune checkpoint inhibitor by identifying if a subject has a favorable microbial profile.

This application claims the benefit of United States Provisional Patent Applications No. 62/400,372, filed Sep. 27, 2016; No. 62/508,885, filed May 19, 2017; and No. 62/557,566, filed Sep. 12, 2017, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to the fields of microbiology, immunology, and medicine. More particularly, it concerns the use of the microbiome to improve the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapy

2. Description of Related Art

Within the past decade, major advances have been made in the treatment of melanoma through the use of targeted therapy and immunotherapy. In particular, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown tremendous promise, leading to the FDA approval of several agents blocking immuno-modulatory molecules on the surface of T lymphocytes (e.g., anti-CTLA-4 antibody Ipilimumab, and anti-PD-1 antibodies Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab). Importantly, treatment with immune checkpoint blockade may result in durable long-term complete responses, though overall response rates are modest (i.e., 15% with CTLA-4 blockade, and 30-40% with PD-1 blockade).

However, immune checkpoint inhibitors can be associated with substantial toxicity and only a subset of patients may benefit. Efforts are underway to better understand variation in responses to immune checkpoint blockade; however, it remains unclear what is contributing to this enhanced response in these patients, and there is a critical need to identify actionable strategies to improve responses to therapy in all patients.

There is an increasing appreciation of the role of the host microbiome in responses to cancer therapy, and studies suggest that bacteria present in the tumor and the gut may impact therapeutic responses. There is also a growing appreciation of the role of the gastrointestinal microbiome in shaping immune responses in health and disease. However, there is a significant translational knowledge gap, and there is an unmet need for therapeutic strategies to enhance responses to immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma, and other cancers.

DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

Tremendous advances have been made in cancer therapy through the use of molecularly targeted therapy and immunotherapy, however responses are variable and are not always durable. Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors is associated with response rates of 15-40% in patients with widespread melanoma, and efforts are underway to identify strategies to enhance responses to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Thus, methods to improve therapeutic responses as well as increase the number of responders are critically needed.

The present disclosure overcomes problems with current technologies by providing methods to modulate the microbiome to improve immune response to cancer and therapeutic response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer patients. Studies in the present disclosure used a large cohort of patients with metastatic melanoma undergoing systemic treatment (n=233), a subset of whom were treated with PD-1-based immunotherapy (n=112). Oral and gut microbiome samples were characterized in these patients via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metagenomic whole genome shotgun sequencing. In these analyses, significant differences were observed in the diversity and composition of the gut microbiome in responders versus non-responders to immune checkpoint blockade therapy (e.g., to PD-1-based therapy), with a significantly higher diversity and increased abundance of specific bacteria (e.g., within the order Clostridiales and family Ruminococcaceae) in the gut microbiome of responders versus non-responders. In particular, the species Faecalibacterium prausnitzii was found to be more abundant in responders. These bacteria are known to produce short chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which help sustain the integrity of specific cells within the gut (i.e., enterocytes) and may enhance immunity.

Interestingly, non-responders to therapy were noted to have low levels of these bacteria and significantly higher levels of bacteria of the order Bacteroidales, which has been shown in some studies to down-regulate systemic immune responses. Metagenomic analysis via whole genome shotgun sequencing was performed in a subset of these patients validating these findings, and further demonstrated differences in metabolic processes in bacteria of responders versus non-responders. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that modulation of the gut microbiome by co-housing Taconic and Jackson mice and by oral administration of short chain fatty acids (e.g., butyrate) resulted in delayed tumor outgrowth in mice with a less favorable gut microbiome (Jackson mice). These results from human and murine studies have potentially far-reaching implications to enhance responses to immune checkpoint blockade via modulation of the gut microbiome.

Importantly, the present studies show that patients with a “favorable” gut microbiome (with high diversity and high relative abundance of bacteria of the order Clostridiales and/or family Ruminococcaceae) have enhanced systemic and anti-tumor immune responses mediated by enhanced antigen presentation at the level of the lymph node and tumor, as well as preserved effector T cell function in the periphery and the tumor microenvironment. In contrast, patients with an “unfavorable” gut microbiome (with low diversity and high relative abundance of bacteria of the order Bacteroidales) have impaired systemic and anti-tumor immune responses mediated by limited intratumoral infiltration of both lymphoid and myeloid elements, weakened antigen presentation capacity, and skewing towards immunoregulatory cellular and humoral elements in the periphery, including Treg and MDSC.

Further studies were also undertaken in a mouse melanoma model system. These studies showed mice that received fecal microbiota transplantation from a responder population had decreased tumor growth and increased response to anti-PDL1 therapy. Moreover, mice that received transplantation of a responder microbial popultion had higher percentages of innate effector cells (expressing CD45⁺ CD11b⁺Ly6G⁺) and lower frequency of suppressive myeloid cells (expressing CD11b⁺ CD11c⁺) in the spleen as well as an increased the number of CD45⁺ immune and CD8⁺ T cells in the gut. These findings highlight the potential for parallel modulation of the gut microbiome to significantly enhance checkpoint blockade efficacy, warranting prompt evaluation in clinical trials.

Based on these findings, methods of cancer treatment and diagnosis are provided herein. In one method, short-chain fatty acids, such as butyrate and/or a population of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, are administered to patients during treatment with immune checkpoint blockade to enhance therapeutic responses. Also provided herein are methods to use the diversity and composition of the gut microbiome as a predictive biomarker to identify patients who will have a favorable response to immune checkpoint blockade.

I. DEFINITIONS

As used herein, “essentially free,” in terms of a specified component, is used herein to mean that none of the specified component has been purposefully formulated into a composition and/or is present only as a contaminant or in trace amounts. The total amount of the specified component resulting from any unintended contamination of a composition is therefore well below 0.01%. Most preferred is a composition in which no amount of the specified component can be detected with standard analytical methods.

As used herein, “a” or “an” may mean one or more than one.

The use of the term “or” in the claims is used to mean “and/or” unless explicitly indicated to refer to alternatives only or the alternatives are mutually exclusive, although the disclosure supports a definition that refers to only alternatives and “and/or.” As used herein, the term “another” may mean at least a second or more.

Throughout this application, the term “about” is used to indicate that a value includes the inherent variation of error for the device, the method being employed to determine the value, or the variation that exists among the study subjects.

The phrase “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” or “sufficient amount” means a dosage of a drug or agent sufficient to produce a desired result. The desired result can be a decrease in tumor size, a decrease in the rate of growth of cancer cells, a decrease in metastasis, increase in CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in the tumor or tumor immune infiltrate, an increase in CD45+, CD3+/CD20+/CD56+, CD68+ and/or HLA-DR+ cells in the tumor, an increase in CD3, CD8, PD1, FoxP3, Granzyme B and/or PD-L1 expression in a tumor immune infiltrate, a decrease in RORγT expression in a tumor immune infiltrate, an increase of effector CD4⁺, CD8⁺ T, monocytes and/or myeloid dendritic cell in the systemic circulation or the peripheral blood, a decrease of B cells, regulatory T cells and/or myeloid derived suppressor cells in the systemic circulation or the peripheral blood of the subject or any combination of the above.

The term “tumor cell” or “cancer cell” denotes a cell that demonstrates inappropriate, unregulated proliferation. A “human” tumor is comprised of cells that have human chromosomes. Such tumors include those in a human patient, and tumors resulting from the introduction into a non-human host animal of a malignant cell line having human chromosomes.

As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin, derivatives thereof which maintain specific binding ability, and proteins having a binding domain which is homologous or largely homologous to an immunoglobulin binding domain. These proteins may be derived from natural sources, or partly or wholly synthetically produced. An antibody may be monoclonal or polyclonal. The antibody may be a member of any immunoglobulin class, including any of the human classes: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. Antibodies used with the methods and compositions described herein are generally derivatives of the IgG class. The term antibody also refers to antigen-binding antibody fragments. Examples of such antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, scFv, Fv, dsFv diabody, and Fd fragments. Antibody fragments may be produced by any means. For instance, the antibody fragment may be enzymatically or chemically produced by fragmentation of an intact antibody, it may be recombinantly produced from a gene encoding the partial antibody sequence, or it may be wholly or partially synthetically produced. The antibody fragment may optionally be a single chain antibody fragment. Alternatively, the fragment may comprise multiple chains which are linked together, for instance, by disulfide linkages. The fragment may also optionally be a multimolecular complex. A functional antibody fragment retains the ability to bind its cognate antigen at comparable affinity to the full antibody.

The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, e.g., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible mutations, e.g., naturally occurring mutations, that may be present in minor amounts. Thus, the modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as not being a mixture of discrete antibodies. In certain embodiments, such a monoclonal antibody typically includes an antibody comprising a polypeptide sequence that binds a target, wherein the target-binding polypeptide sequence was obtained by a process that includes the selection of a single target binding polypeptide sequence from a plurality of polypeptide sequences. For example, the selection process can be the selection of a unique clone from a plurality of clones, such as a pool of hybridoma clones, phage clones, or recombinant DNA clones. It should be understood that a selected target binding sequence can be further altered, for example, to improve affinity for the target, to humanize the target binding sequence, to improve its production in cell culture, to reduce its immunogenicity in vivo, to create a multispecific antibody, etc., and that an antibody comprising the altered target binding sequence is also a monoclonal antibody of this disclosure. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include several different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibody preparations are advantageous in that they are typically uncontaminated by other immunoglobulins.

The phrases “pharmaceutical composition” or “pharmacologically acceptable compisition” refers to molecular entities and compositions that do not produce an adverse, allergic, or other untoward reaction when administered to an animal, such as a human, as appropriate. The preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody or additional active ingredient will be known to those of skill in the art in light of the present disclosure. Moreover, for animal (e.g., human) administration, it will be understood that preparations should meet sterility, pyrogenicity, general safety, and purity standards as required by FDA Office of Biological Standards.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” includes any and all aqueous solvents (e.g., water, alcoholic/aqueous solutions, saline solutions, parenteral vehicles, such as sodium chloride, and Ringer's dextrose), non-aqueous solvents (e.g., propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyloleate), dispersion media, coatings, surfactants, antioxidants, preservatives (e.g., antibacterial or antifungal agents, anti-oxidants, chelating agents, and inert gases), isotonic agents, absorption delaying agents, salts, drugs, drug stabilizers, gels, binders, excipients, disintegration agents, lubricants, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, dyes, fluid and nutrient replenishers, such like materials and combinations thereof, as would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art. The pH and exact concentration of the various components in a pharmaceutical composition may be adjusted according to well-known parameters.

The term “unit dose” or “dosage” refers to physically discrete units suitable for use in a subject, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of the therapeutic composition calculated to produce the desired responses discussed herein in association with its administration, i.e., the appropriate route and treatment regimen. The quantity to be administered, both according to number of treatments and unit dose, depends on the effect desired. The actual dosage amount of a composition of the present embodiments administered to a patient or subject can be determined by physical and physiological factors, such as body weight, the age, health, and sex of the subject, the type of disease being treated, the extent of disease penetration, previous or concurrent therapeutic interventions, idiopathy of the patient, the route of administration, and the potency, stability, and toxicity of the particular therapeutic substance. For example, a dose may also comprise from about 1 μg/kg/body weight to about 1000 mg/kg/body weight (this such range includes intervening doses) or more per administration, and any particular dose derivable therein. In non-limiting examples of a range derivable from the numbers listed herein, a range of about 5 μg/kg/body weight to about 100 mg/kg/body weight, about 5 μg/kg/body weight to about 500 mg/kg/body weight, etc., can be administered. The practitioner responsible for administration will, in any event, determine the concentration of active ingredient(s) in a composition and appropriate dose(s) for the individual subject.

An “anti-cancer” agent is capable of negatively affecting a cancer cell/tumor in a subject, for example, by promoting killing of cancer cells, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells, reducing the growth rate of cancer cells, reducing the incidence or number of metastases, reducing tumor size, inhibiting tumor growth, reducing the blood supply to a tumor or cancer cells, promoting an immune response against cancer cells or a tumor, preventing or inhibiting the progression of cancer, or increasing the lifespan of a subject with cancer.

The term “immune checkpoint” refers to a component of the immune system which provides inhibitory signals to its components in order to regulate immune reactions. Known immune checkpoint proteins comprise CTLA-4, PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 and in addition LAG-3, BTLA, B7H3, B7H4, TIM3, KIR. The pathways involving LAGS, BTLA, B7H3, B7H4, TIM3, and KIR are recognized in the art to constitute immune checkpoint pathways similar to the CTLA-4 and PD-1 dependent pathways (see e.g. Pardon, 2012, Nature Rev Cancer 12:252-264; Mellman et al., 2011, Nature 480:480-489).

The term “PD-1 axis binding antagonist” refers to a molecule that inhibits the interaction of a PD-1 axis binding partner with either one or more of its binding partners, so as to remove T-cell dysfunction resulting from signaling on the PD-1 signaling axis—with a result being to restore or enhance T-cell function (e.g., proliferation, cytokine production, target cell killing). The term “PD-1” axis” refers to any component of the PD-1 immune checkpoint (e.g., PD-1, PD-L1, and PD-L2). As used herein, a PD-1 axis binding antagonist includes a PD-1 binding antagonist, a PD-L1 binding antagonist and a PD-L2 binding antagonist.

The term “PD-1 binding antagonist” refers to a molecule that decreases, blocks, inhibits, abrogates or interferes with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-1 with one or more of its binding partners, such as PD-L1 and/or PD-L2. The PD-1 binding antagonist may be a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-1 to one or more of its binding partners. In a specific aspect, the PD-1 binding antagonist inhibits the binding of PD-1 to PD-L1 and/or PD-L2. For example, PD-1 binding antagonists include anti-PD-1 antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, immunoadhesins, fusion proteins, oligopeptides and other molecules that decrease, block, inhibit, abrogate or interfere with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-1 with PD-L1 and/or PD-L2. An exemplary PD-1 binding antagonist is an anti-PD-1 antibody. For example the PD-1 binding antagonist is MDX-1106 (nivolumab), MK-3475 (pembrolizumab), CT-011 (pidilizumab), or AMP-224.

The term “PD-L1 binding antagonist” refers to a molecule that decreases, blocks, inhibits, abrogates or interferes with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-L1 with either one or more of its binding partners, such as PD-1 or B7-1. For example, a PD-L1 binding antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-L1 to its binding partners. In a specific aspect, the PD-L1 binding antagonist inhibits binding of PD-L1 to PD-1 and/or B7-1. The PD-L1 binding antagonists may include anti-PD-L1 antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, immunoadhesins, fusion proteins, oligopeptides and other molecules that decrease, block, inhibit, abrogate or interfere with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-L1 with one or more of its binding partners, such as PD-1 or B7-1. For example, a PD-L1 binding antagonist reduces the negative co-stimulatory signal mediated by or through cell surface proteins expressed on T lymphocytes mediated signaling through PD-L1 so as to render a dysfunctional T-cell less dysfunctional (e.g., enhancing effector responses to antigen recognition). In one example, a PD-L1 binding antagonist is an anti-PD-L1 antibody. The anti-PD-L1 antibody may be YW243.55.S70, MDX-1105, MPDL3280A, or MEDI4736.

The term “PD-L2 binding antagonist” refers to a molecule that decreases, blocks, inhibits, abrogates or interferes with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-L2 with either one or more of its binding partners, such as PD-1. A PD-L2 binding antagonist may be a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-L2 to one or more of its binding partners. For example, the PD-L2 binding antagonist inhibits binding of PD-L2 to PD-1, such as PD-L2 antagonists including anti-PD-L2 antibodies, antigen binding fragments thereof, immunoadhesins, fusion proteins, oligopeptides and other molecules that decrease, block, inhibit, abrogate or interfere with signal transduction resulting from the interaction of PD-L2 with either one or more of its binding partners, such as PD-1.

An “immune checkpoint inhibitor” refers to any compound inhibiting the function of an immune checkpoint protein. Inhibition includes reduction of function and full blockade. In particular the immune checkpoint protein is a human immune checkpoint protein. Thus the immune checkpoint protein inhibitor in particular is an inhibitor of a human immune checkpoint protein.

“Subject” and “patient” refer to either a human or non-human, such as primates, mammals, and vertebrates. In particular embodiments, the subject is a human.

As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treatment,” “treating,” or “amelioration” when used in reference to a disease, disorder or medical condition, refer to therapeutic treatments for a condition, wherein the object is to reverse, alleviate, ameliorate, inhibit, slow down or stop the progression or severity of a symptom or condition. The term “treating” includes reducing or alleviating at least one adverse effect or symptom of a condition. Treatment is generally “effective” if one or more symptoms or clinical markers are reduced. Alternatively, treatment is “effective” if the progression of a condition is reduced or halted. That is, “treatment” includes not just the improvement of symptoms or markers, but also a cessation or at least slowing of progress or worsening of symptoms that would be expected in the absence of treatment. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of one or more symptom(s), diminishment of extent of the deficit, stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of a tumor or malignancy, delay or slowing of tumor growth and/or metastasis, and an increased lifespan as compared to that expected in the absence of treatment.

The “gut microbiota” or “gut microbiome” designates the population of microorganisms living in the intestine of a subject.

The term “alpha diversity” is a measure of intra-sample diversity and refers to the distribution and assembly patterns of all microbiota within samples and is calculated as a scalar value for each sample. “Beta diversity” is a term for inter-sample diversity, and involves the comparison of samples to each which provides a measure of the distance or dissimilarity between each sample pair.

The term “relative amount”, which can also be designated as the “relative abundance”, is defined as the number of bacteria of a particular taxonomic level (from phylum to species) as a percentage of the total number of bacteria of that level in a biological sample. This relative abundance can be assessed, for example, by measuring the percentage of 16S rRNA gene sequences present in the sample which are assigned to these bacteria. It can be measured by any appropriate technique known by the skilled artisan, such as 454 pyrosequencing and quantitative PCR of these specific bacterial 16S rRNA gene markers or quantitative PCR of a specific gene.

In the present text, a “good responder to a treatment”, also called a “responder” or “responsive” patient or in other words a patient who “benefits from” this treatment, refers to a patient who is affected with a cancer and who shows or will show a clinically significant relief in the cancer after receiving this treatment. Conversely, a “bad responder” or “non-responder” is one who does not or will not show a clinically significant relief in the cancer after receiving this treatment. The decreased response to treatment may be assessed according to the standards recognized in the art, such as immune-related response criteria (irRC), WHO or RECIST criteria.

The term “isolated” encompasses a bacterium or other entity or substance that has been (1) separated from at least some of the components with which it was associated when initially produced (whether in nature or in an experimental setting), and/or (2) produced, prepared, purified, and/or manufactured by the hand of man. Isolated bacteria may be separated from at least about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, or more of the other components with which they were initially associated. In some embodiments, isolated bacteria are more than about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more than about 99% pure. As used herein, a substance is “pure” if it is substantially free of other components.

The terms “purify,” “purifying” and “purified” refer to a bacterium or other material that has been separated from at least some of the components with which it was associated either when initially produced or generated (e.g., whether in nature or in an experimental setting), or during any time after its initial production. A bacterium or a bacterial population may be considered purified if it is isolated at or after production, such as from a material or environment containing the bacterium or bacterial population, and a purified bacterium or bacterial population may contain other materials up to about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, or above about 90% and still be considered “isolated.” In some embodiments, purified bacteria and bacterial populations are more than about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more than about 99% pure. In the instance of bacterial compositions provided herein, the one or more bacterial types present in the composition can be independently purified from one or more other bacteria produced and/or present in the material or environment containing the bacterial type. Bacterial compositions and the bacterial components thereof are generally purified from residual habitat products.

The probiotic compositions of the present disclosure may further comprise one or more prebiotics known in the art, such as lactitol, inulin, or a combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the compositions of the embodiments comprise one or more of the species of bacteria that produce short chain fatty acids. In particular aspects, the species of bacteria produce butyrate. For example, the bacterial population can comprise one or more bacterial species of the order Clostridiales. The Clostridiales bacteria may be substantially in spore form. In particular aspects, the bacterial species is from the family Ruminococcaceae, Christensenellaceae, Clostridiaceae or Coriobacteriacease. In some embodiments, the Clostridiales bacteria comprise a first family and a second family. In some embodiments, the first family is selected from the group consisting of Ruminococcaceae, Christensenellaceae, Clostridiaceae and Coriobacteriacease, and the second family is not identical to the first family. Examples of bacterial species include, but are not limited to, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Ruminococcus albus, Ruminococcus bromii, Ruminococcus callidus, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, Ruminococcus champanellensis, Ruminococcus faecis, Ruminococcus gauvreauii, Ruminococcus gnavus, Ruminococcus hansenii, Ruminococcus hydrogenotrophicus, Ruminococcus lactaris, Ruminococcus luti, Ruminococcus obeum, Ruminococcus palustris, Ruminococcus pasteurii, Ruminococcus productus, Ruminococcus schinkii, Ruminococcus torques, Subdoligranulum variabile, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Roseburia intestinalis, Anaerostipes caccae, Blautia obeum, Eubacterium nodatum, and Eubacterium oxidoreducens. In particular aspects, the bacterial species is Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. In certain embodiments, the bacterial population does not comprise bacterial species of the class Bacteroidia or family Prevotellaceae.

In some embodiments, the bacterial population comprises bacteria of the order Clostridiales in an amount effective or sufficient to produce one or more metabolites capable of enhancing immune checkpoint therapy in the subject. In some embodiments, the one or more metabolites comprise a short chain fatty acid. In particular aspects, the short chain fatty acid is butyrate. In some embodiments, the order Clostridiales produce one or more short chain fatty acids (e.g., butyrate) in an effective amount to increase the local short chain fatty acid concentration by 2-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 50-fold, 100-fold, 1000-fold, or over 1000-fold.

In some embodiments, the probiotic composition may further comprise a food or a nutritional supplement effective to stimulate the growth of bacteria of the order Clostridiales present in the gastrointestinal tract of the subject. In some embodiments, the nutritional supplement is produced by a bacterium associated with a healthy human gut microbiome. In certain embodiments, the nutritional supplement is produced by bacteria of the order Clostridiales. In certain embodiments, the nutritional supplement comprises a short chain fatty acid. In certain embodiments, the short chain fatty acid is selected from butyrate, propionate, or a combination thereof. In particular embodiments, the short chain fatty acid is butyrate.

Accordingly, certain embodiments of the present disclosure concern administering butyrate prodrugs or salts to a subject who has been or is currently being administered an immune checkpoint inhibitor. For example, the butyrate may be sodium butyrate, arginine butyrate, ethylbutyryl lactate, tributyrin, 4-phenyl butyrate, AN-9 or AN-10. Prodrugs and salts of butyrate have been described in WO 96/15660 and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,763,488, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference. Other orally available prodrugs and salts of butyrate that may be administered include, but are not limited to, isobutyramide, 1-octyl butyrate, orthonitrobenzyl butyrate, monobutyrate-3-monoacetone glucose, monobutyrate-1-monoacetone mannose, monobutyrate xylitol, isobutyramide, 4-phenylbutyrate, and 4-phenyl acetate. Each of these compounds releases butyrate or a butyrate analog into the blood stream upon administration. One or more isoforms of butyrate can include butyl butyrate, amyl butyrate, isobutyl butyrate, benzyl butyrate, α-methylbenzyl butyrate, hexyl butyrate, heptyl butyrate, pennetyl butyrate, methyl butyrate, and 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid.

In further embodiments, the present disclosure concerns methods of obtaining a microbiome profile, comprising the steps of: i) obtaining a sample obtained from a subject (e.g., a human subject), ii) isolating one or more bacterial species from the sample, iii) isolating one or more nucleic acids from at least one bacterial species, iv) sequencing the isolated nucleic acids, and v) comparing the sequenced nucleic acids to a reference nucleic acid sequence. When performing the methods necessitating genotyping, any genotyping assay can be used. For example, this can be done by sequencing the 16S or the 23S ribosomal subunit or by metagenomics shotgun DNA sequencing associated with metatranscriptomics. The biological sample may be selected from the group comprising: whole blood, blood plasma, urine, tears, semen, saliva, buccal mucosa, interstitial fluid, lymph fluid, meningeal fluid, amniotic fluid, glandular fluid, sputum, feces, perspiration, mucous, vaginal secretion, cerebrospinal fluid, hair, skin, fecal material, wound exudate, wound homogenate, and wound fluid. In particular aspects, the sample is fecal material or a buccal sample.

In some embodiments, the microbiome profile is identified to be favorable for immune checkpoint therapy. A favorable microbial profile would have a high relative abundance of one or more bacterial species from the phylum Firmicutes, class Clostridia, order Clostridiales, family Ruminococcaceae, genus Ruminococcus, genus Hydrogenoanaerobacterium, genus Faecalibacterium, phylum Actinobacteria, class Coriobacteriia, order Coriaobacteriales, family Coriobacteriaceae, domain Archaea, phylum Cyanobacteria, phylum Euryarchaeota or famly Christensenellaceae. A favorable microbial profile would have a low relative abundance of bacteria from the genus Dialister, family Veillonellaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes, class Bacteroida, order Bacteroidales or family Prevotellaceae. Accordingly, a favorable microbial profile would have a higher relative abundance of one or more bacterial species from the phylum Firmicutes, class Clostridia, order Clostridiales, famiy Ruminococcaceae, genus Ruminococcus, genus Hydrogenoanaerobacterium, phylum Actinobacteria, class Coriobacteria, order Coriaobacteriales, family Coriobacteriaceae, domain Archaea, phylum Cyanobacteria, phylum Euryarchaeota or family Christensenellaceae, and would have a decreased abundance of one or more bacterial species from genus Dialister, family Veillonellaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes, class Bacteroida, order Bacteroidales and/or family Prevotellaceae.

III. IMMUNE CHECKPOINT BLOCKADE

The present disclosure provides methods of enhancing the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade by modulating the microbiome of a subject, such as by administering a short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or a composition comprising one or more populations of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria. Immune checkpoints either turn up a signal (e.g., co-stimulatory molecules) or turn down a signal. Inhibitory immune checkpoint molecules that may be targeted by immune checkpoint blockade include adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR), B7-H3 (also known as CD276), B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4, also known as CD152), indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), killer-cell immunoglobulin (KIR), lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG3), programmed death 1 (PD-1), T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) and V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA). In particular, the immune checkpoint inhibitors target the PD-1 axis and/or CTLA-4.

The immune checkpoint inhibitors may be drugs such as small molecules, recombinant forms of ligand or receptors, or, antibodies, such as human antibodies (e.g., International Patent Publication No. WO2015016718; Pardoll, Nat Rev Cancer, 12(4): 252-64, 2012; both incorporated herein by reference). Known inhibitors of the immune checkpoint proteins or analogs thereof may be used, in particular chimerized, humanized or human forms of antibodies may be used. As the skilled person will know, alternative and/or equivalent names may be in use for certain antibodies mentioned in the present disclosure. Such alternative and/or equivalent names are interchangeable in the context of the present invention. For example it is known that lambrolizumab is also known under the alternative and equivalent names MK-3475 and pembrolizumab.

It is contemplated that any of the immune checkpoint inhibitors that are known in the art to stimulate immune responses may be used. This includes inhibitors that directly or indirectly stimulate or enhance antigen-specific T-lymphocytes. These immune checkpoint inhibitors include, without limitation, agents targeting immune checkpoint proteins and pathways involving PD-L2, LAG3, BTLA, B7H4 and TIM3. For example, LAG3 inhibitors known in the art include soluble LAG3 (IMP321, or LAG3-Ig disclosed in WO2009044273) as well as mouse or humanized antibodies blocking human LAG3 (e.g., IMP701 disclosed in WO2008132601), or fully human antibodies blocking human LAG3 (such as disclosed in EP 2320940). Another example is provided by the use of blocking agents towards BTLA, including without limitation antibodies blocking human BTLA interaction with its ligand (such as 4C7 disclosed in WO2011014438). Yet another example is provided by the use of agents neutralizing B7H4 including without limitation antibodies to human B7H4 (disclosed in WO 2013025779, and in WO2013067492) or soluble recombinant forms of B7H4 (such as disclosed in US20120177645). Yet another example is provided by agents neutralizing B7-H3, including without limitation antibodies neutralizing human B7-H3 (e.g. MGA271 disclosed as BRCA84D and derivatives in US 20120294796). Yet another example is provided by agents targeting TIM3, including without limitation antibodies targeting human TIM3 (e.g. as disclosed in WO 2013006490 A2 or the anti-human TIM3, blocking antibody F38-2E2 disclosed by Jones et al., J Exp Med. 2008; 205(12):2763-79).

A. PD-1 Axis Antagonists

T cell dysfunction or anergy occurs concurrently with an induced and sustained expression of the inhibitory receptor, programmed death 1 polypeptide (PD-1). Thus, therapeutic targeting of PD-1 and other molecules which signal through interactions with PD-1, such as programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed death ligand 2 (PD-L2) is provided herein. PD-L1 is overexpressed in many cancers and is often associated with poor prognosis (Okazaki T et al., Intern. Immun. 2007 19(7):813). Thus, improved methods of treating cancer by inhibiting the PD-L1/PD-1 interaction in combination with modulating the microbiome is provided herein.

For example, PD-1 axis binding antagonists include a PD-1 binding antagonist, a PDL1 binding antagonist and a PDL2 binding antagonist. Alternative names for “PD-1” include CD279 and SLEB2. Alternative names for “PDL1” include B7-H1, B7-4, CD274, and B7-H. Alternative names for “PDL2” include B7-DC, Btdc, and CD273. In some embodiments, PD-1, PDL1, and PDL2 are human PD-1, PDL1 and PDL2.

In some embodiments, the PD-1 binding antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PD-1 to its ligand binding partners. In a specific aspect, the PD-1 ligand binding partners are PDL1 and/or PDL2. In another embodiment, a PDL1 binding antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PDL1 to its binding partners. In a specific aspect, PDL1 binding partners are PD-1 and/or B7-1. In another embodiment, the PDL2 binding antagonist is a molecule that inhibits the binding of PDL2 to its binding partners. In a specific aspect, a PDL2 binding partner is PD-1. The antagonist may be an antibody, an antigen binding fragment thereof, an immunoadhesin, a fusion protein, or oligopeptide. Exemplary antibodies are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,735,553, 8,354,509, and 8,008,449, all incorporated herein by reference. Other PD-1 axis antagonists for use in the methods provided herein are known in the art such as described in U.S. Patent Application No. US20140294898, US2014022021, and US20110008369, all incorporated herein by reference.

In some embodiments, the PD-1 binding antagonist is an anti-PD-1 antibody (e.g., a human antibody, a humanized antibody, or a chimeric antibody). In some embodiments, the anti-PD-1 antibody is selected from the group consisting of nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and CT-011. In some embodiments, the PD-1 binding antagonist is an immunoadhesin (e.g., an immunoadhesin comprising an extracellular or PD-1 binding portion of PDL1 or PDL2 fused to a constant region (e.g., an Fc region of an immunoglobulin sequence). In some embodiments, the PD-1 binding antagonist is AMP-224. Nivolumab, also known as MDX-1106-04, MDX-1106, ONO-4538, BMS-936558, and OPDIVO®, is an anti-PD-1 antibody described in WO2006/121168. Pembrolizumab, also known as MK-3475, Merck 3475, lambrolizumab, KEYTRUDA®, and SCH-900475, is an anti-PD-1 antibody described in WO2009/114335. CT-011, also known as hBAT or hBAT-1, is an anti-PD-1 antibody described in WO2009/101611. AMP-224, also known as B7-DCIg, is a PDL2-Fc fusion soluble receptor described in WO2010/027827 and WO2011/066342. Additional PD-1 binding antagonists include Pidilizumab, also known as CT-011, MEDI0680, also known as AMP-514, and REGN2810.

In some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is a PD-L1 antagonist such as Durvalumab, also known as MEDI4736, atezolizumab, also known as MPDL3280A, or avelumab, also known as MSB00010118C. In certain aspects, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is a PD-L2 antagonist such as rHIgM12B7. In some aspects, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is a LAG-3 antagonist such as, but not limited to, IMP321, and BMS-986016. The immune checkpoint inhibitor may be an adenosine A2a receptor (A2aR) antagonist such as PBF-509.

In some embodiments, the antibody described herein (such as an anti-PD-1 antibody, an anti-PDL1 antibody, or an anti-PDL2 antibody) further comprises a human or murine constant region. In a still further aspect, the human constant region is selected from the group consisting of IgG1, IgG2, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. In a still further specific aspect, the human constant region is IgG1. In a still further aspect, the murine constant region is selected from the group consisting of IgG1, IgG2A, IgG2B, and IgG3. In a still further specific aspect, the antibody has reduced or minimal effector function. In a still further specific aspect, the minimal effector function results from production in prokaryotic cells. In a still further specific aspect the minimal effector function results from an “effector-less Fc mutation” or aglycosylation.

Accordingly, an antibody used herein can be aglycosylated. Glycosylation of antibodies is typically either N-linked or O-linked. N-linked refers to the attachment of the carbohydrate moiety to the side chain of an asparagine residue. The tripeptide sequences asparagine-X-serine and asparagine-X-threonine, where X is any amino acid except proline, are the recognition sequences for enzymatic attachment of the carbohydrate moiety to the asparagine side chain. Thus, the presence of either of these tripeptide sequences in a polypeptide creates a potential glycosylation site. O-linked glycosylation refers to the attachment of one of the sugars N-aceylgalactosamine, galactose, or xylose to a hydroxy amino acid, most commonly serine or threonine, although 5-hydroxyproline or 5-hydroxy lysine may also be used. Removal of glycosylation sites form an antibody is conveniently accomplished by altering the amino acid sequence such that one of the above-described tripeptide sequences (for N-linked glycosylation sites) is removed. The alteration may be made by substitution of an asparagine, serine or threonine residue within the glycosylation site another amino acid residue (e.g., glycine, alanine or a conservative substitution).

The antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, may be made using methods known in the art, for example, by a process comprising culturing a host cell containing nucleic acid encoding any of the previously described anti-PDL1, anti-PD-1, or anti-PDL2 antibodies or antigen-binding fragment in a form suitable for expression, under conditions suitable to produce such antibody or fragment, and recovering the antibody or fragment.

B. CTLA-4

Another immune checkpoint that can be targeted in the methods provided herein is the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), also known as CD152. The complete cDNA sequence of human CTLA-4 has the Genbank accession number L15006. CTLA-4 is found on the surface of T cells and acts as an “off” switch when bound to CD80 or CD86 on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. CTLA4 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is expressed on the surface of Helper T cells and transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells. CTLA4 is similar to the T-cell co-stimulatory protein, CD28, and both molecules bind to CD80 and CD86, also called B7-1 and B7-2 respectively, on antigen-presenting cells. CTLA4 transmits an inhibitory signal to T cells, whereas CD28 transmits a stimulatory signal. Intracellular CTLA4 is also found in regulatory T cells and may be important to their function. T cell activation through the T cell receptor and CD28 leads to increased expression of CTLA-4, an inhibitory receptor for B7 molecules.

In some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is an anti-CTLA-4 antibody (e.g., a human antibody, a humanized antibody, or a chimeric antibody), an antigen binding fragment thereof, an immunoadhesin, a fusion protein, or oligopeptide.

Anti-human-CTLA-4 antibodies (or VH and/or VL domains derived therefrom) suitable for use in the present methods can be generated using methods well known in the art. Alternatively, art recognized anti-CTLA-4 antibodies can be used. For example, the anti-CTLA-4 antibodies disclosed in: U.S. Pat. No. 8,119,129, WO 01/14424, WO 98/42752; WO 00/37504 (CP675,206, also known as tremelimumab; formerly ticilimumab), U.S. Pat. No. 6,207,156; Hurwitz et al., 1998; can be used in the methods disclosed herein. The teachings of each of the aforementioned publications are hereby incorporated by reference. Antibodies that compete with any of these art-recognized antibodies for binding to CTLA-4 also can be used. For example, a humanized CTLA-4 antibody is described in International Patent Application No. WO2001014424, WO2000037504, and U.S. Pat. No. 8,017,114; all incorporated herein by reference.

An exemplary anti-CTLA-4 antibody is ipilimumab (also known as 10D1, MDX-010, MDX-101, and Yervoy®) or antigen binding fragments and variants thereof (see, e.g., WO01/14424). In other embodiments, the antibody comprises the heavy and light chain CDRs or VRs of ipilimumab. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the antibody comprises the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 domains of the VH region of ipilimumab, and the CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 domains of the VL region of ipilimumab. In another embodiment, the antibody competes for binding with and/or binds to the same epitope on CTLA-4 as the above-mentioned antibodies. In another embodiment, the antibody has at least about 90% variable region amino acid sequence identity with the above-mentioned antibodies (e.g., at least about 90%, 95%, or 99% variable region identity with ipilimumab).

Other molecules for modulating CTLA-4 include soluble CTLA-4 ligands and receptors such as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,844,905, 5,885,796 and International Patent Application Nos. WO1995001994 and WO1998042752; all incorporated herein by reference, and immunoadhesins such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,329,867, incorporated herein by reference.

C. Killer Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor (KIR)

Another immune checkpoint inhibitor for use in the present disclosure is an anti-MR antibody. Anti-human-MR antibodies (or VH/VL domains derived therefrom) suitable for use in the present methods can be generated using methods well known in the art.

Alternatively, art recognized anti-MR antibodies can be used. The anti-KIR antibody can be cross-reactive with multiple inhibitory KIR receptors and potentiates the cytotoxicity of NK cells bearing one or more of these receptors. For example, the anti-KIR antibody may bind to each of KIR2D2DL1, KIR2DL2, and KIR2DL3, and potentiate NK cell activity by reducing, neutralizing and/or reversing inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity mediated by any or all of these KIRs. In some aspects, the anti-KIR antibody does not bind KIR2DS4 and/or KIR2DS3. For example, monoclonal antibodies 1-7F9 (also known as IPH2101), 14F1, 1-6F1 and 1-6F5, described in WO 2006/003179, the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference, can be used. Antibodies that compete with any of these art-recognized antibodies for binding to KIR also can be used. Additional art-recognized anti-KIR antibodies which can be used include, for example, those disclosed in WO 2005/003168, WO 2005/009465, WO 2006/072625, WO 2006/072626, WO 2007/042573, WO 2008/084106, WO 2010/065939, WO 2012/071411 and WO 2012/160448.

An exemplary anti-MR antibody is lirilumab (also referred to as BMS-986015 or IPH2102). In other embodiments, the anti-KIR antibody comprises the heavy and light chain complementarity determining regions (CDRs) or variable regions (VRs) of lirilumab. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the antibody comprises the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 domains of the heavy chain variable (VH) region of lirilumab, and the CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 domains of the light chain variable (VL) region of lirilumab. In another embodiment, the antibody has at least about 90% variable region amino acid sequence identity with lirilumab.

IV. METHODS OF TREATMENT

Provided herein are methods for treating or delaying progression of cancer in an individual comprising administering to the individual an effective or suffcicient amount of a short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or populations of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, to a subject who has been or is currently being administered immune checkpoint therapy. Also provided herein are methods of selecting subjects who will respond favorably to immune checkpoint therapy by assessing the microbial profile of the subject and administering immune checkpoint inhibitor to a subject identified to have a favorable microbial profile.

In some embodiments, the treatment results in a sustained response in the individual after cessation of the treatment. The methods described herein may find use in treating conditions where enhanced immunogenicity is desired such as increasing tumor immunogenicity for the treatment of cancer. Also provided herein are methods of enhancing immune function such as in an individual having cancer comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., PD-1 axis binding antagonist and/or CTLA-4 antibody) and a short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or populations of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria. In some embodiments, the individual is a human.

Examples of cancers contemplated for treatment include lung cancer, head and neck cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cancer, bone cancer, testicular cancer, cervical cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, lymphomas, pre-neoplastic lesions in the lung, colon cancer, melanoma, metastatic melanoma, basal-cell skin cancer, squamous-cell skin cancer, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Merkel cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, keratoacanthoma, spindle cell tumors, sebaceous carcinomas, microcystic adnexal carcinoma, Paget's disease of the breast, atypical fibroxanthoma, leiomyosarcoma, and angiosarcoma, Lentigo Maligna, Lentigo Maligna Melanoma, Superficial Spreading Melanoma, Nodular Melanoma, Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, Desmoplastic Melanoma, and bladder cancer.

In some embodiments, the individual has cancer that is resistant (has been demonstrated to be resistant) to one or more anti-cancer therapies. In some embodiments, resistance to anti-cancer therapy includes recurrence of cancer or refractory cancer. Recurrence may refer to the reappearance of cancer, in the original site or a new site, after treatment. In some embodiments, resistance to anti-cancer therapy includes progression of the cancer during treatment with the anti-cancer therapy. In some embodiments, the cancer is at early stage or at late stage.

The individual may have a cancer that expresses (has been shown to express e.g., in a diagnostic test) PD-L1 biomarker. In some embodiments, the patient's cancer expresses low PD-L1 biomarker. In some embodiments, the patient's cancer expresses high PD-L1 biomarker. The PD-L1 biomarker can be detected in the sample using a method selected from the group consisting of FACS, Western blot, ELISA, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, radioimmunoassay, dot blotting, immunodetection methods, HPLC, surface plasmon resonance, optical spectroscopy, mass spectrometery, HPLC, qPCR, RT-qPCR, multiplex qPCR or RT-qPCR, RNA-seq, microarray analysis, SAGE, MassARRAY technique, and FISH, and combinations thereof.

In some embodiments of the methods of the present disclosure, the cancer has low levels of T cell infiltration. In some embodiments, the cancer has no detectable T cell infiltrate. In some embodiments, the cancer is a non-immunogenic cancer (e.g., non-immunogenic colorectal cancer and/or ovarian cancer). Without being bound by theory, the combination treatment may increase T cell (e.g., CD4⁺ T cell, CD8⁺ T cell, memory T cell) priming, activation, proliferation, and/or infiltration relative to prior to the administration of the combination.

A. Administration

The therapy provided herein comprises administration of an immune checkpoint inhibitor, a prebiotic or probiotic composition comprising a short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or populations of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria. The therapy may be administered in any suitable manner known in the art. For example, of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., PD-1 axis binding antagonist and/or CTLA-4 antibody), and a short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or populations of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, may be administered sequentially (at different times) or concurrently (at the same time). In some embodiments, the one or more immune checkpoint inhibitors are in a separate composition as the probiotic therapy. In some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is in the same composition as the probiotic composition.

According to a preferred embodiment, the probiotic bacterial composition is formulated for oral administration. The skilled artisan knows a variety of formulas which can encompass living or killed microorganisms and which can present as food supplements (e.g., pills, tablets and the like) or as functional food such as drinks or fermented yogurts.

The one or more immune checkpoint inhibitors and the short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or populations of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, may be administered by the same route of administration or by different routes of administration. In some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, topically, orally, transdermally, intraperitoneally, intraorbitally, by implantation, by inhalation, intrathecally, intraventricularly, or intranasally. In some embodiments, the short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or population of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, is administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, topically, orally, transdermally, intraperitoneally, intraorbitally, by implantation, by inhalation, intrathecally, intraventricularly, or intranasally. In particular aspects, the immune checkpoint inhibitor is administered intravenously and the short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or population of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, is administered orally. An effective amount of the immune checkpoint inhibitor and the short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or population of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, may be administered for prevention or treatment of disease. The appropriate dosage of immune checkpoint inhibitor and/or the short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or population of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria may be determined based on the type of disease to be treated, severity and course of the disease, the clinical condition of the individual, the individual's clinical history and response to the treatment, and the discretion of the attending physician.

For example, the therapeutically effective or sufficient amount of the immune checkpoint inhibitor, such as an antibody and/or short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, that is administered to a human will be in the range of about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg of patient body weight whether by one or more administrations. In some embodiments, the antibody used is about 0.01 to about 45 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 40 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 35 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 30 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 25 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 20 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 15 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg, about 0.01 to about 5 mg/kg, or about 0.01 to about 1 mg/kg administered daily, for example. In some embodiments, the antibody is administered at 15 mg/kg. However, other dosage regimens may be useful. In one embodiment, an anti-PDL1 antibody described herein is administered to a human at a dose of about 100 mg, about 200 mg, about 300 mg, about 400 mg, about 500 mg, about 600 mg, about 700 mg, about 800 mg, about 900 mg, about 1000 mg, about 1100 mg, about 1200 mg, about 1300 mg or about 1400 mg on day 1 of 21-day cycles. The dose may be administered as a single dose or as multiple doses (e.g., 2 or 3 doses), such as infusions. The progress of this therapy is easily monitored by conventional techniques.

For example, the therapeutically effective or sufficient amount of each of the at least one isolated or purified population of bacteria or each of the at least two isolated or purified populations of bacteria of the probiotic or live bacterial product compositions of the embodiments that is administered to a human will be at least about 1×10³ colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria or at least about 1×10⁴ (CFU). In some embodiments, a single dose will contain about 1×10⁴, 1×10⁵, 1×10⁶, 1×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 1×10⁹, 1×10¹⁰, 1×10¹¹, 1×10¹², 1×10¹³, 1×10¹⁴, 1×10¹⁵ or greater than 1×10¹⁵ CFU of bacteria. In specific embodiments, the bacteria are provided in spore form or as sporulated bacteria. In particular embodiments, the concentration of spores of each isolated or purified population of bacteria, for example of each species, subspecies or strain, is 1×10⁴, 1×10⁵, 1×10⁶, 1×10⁷, 1×10⁸, 1×10⁹, 1×10¹⁰, 1×10¹¹, 1×10¹², 1×10¹³, 1×10¹⁴, 1×10¹⁵ or greater than 1×10¹⁵ viable bacterial spores per gram of composition or per administered dose.

Intratumoral injection, or injection into the tumor vasculature is specifically contemplated for discrete, solid, accessible tumors. Local, regional or systemic administration also may be appropriate. For tumors of >4 cm, the volume to be administered will be about 4-10 ml (in particular 10 ml), while for tumors of <4 cm, a volume of about 1-3 ml will be used (in particular 3 ml). Multiple injections delivered as single dose comprise about 0.1 to about 0.5 ml volumes. For example, adenoviral particles may advantageously be contacted by administering multiple injections to the tumor.

Treatment regimens may vary as well, and often depend on tumor type, tumor location, disease progression, and health and age of the patient. Obviously, certain types of tumors will require more aggressive treatment, while at the same time, certain patients cannot tolerate more taxing protocols. The clinician will be best suited to make such decisions based on the known efficacy and toxicity (if any) of the therapeutic formulations.

In certain embodiments, the tumor being treated may not, at least initially, be resectable. Treatments with therapeutic viral constructs may increase the resectability of the tumor due to shrinkage at the margins or by elimination of certain particularly invasive portions. Following treatments, resection may be possible. Additional treatments subsequent to resection will serve to eliminate microscopic residual disease at the tumor site.

The treatments may include various “unit doses.” Unit dose is defined as containing a predetermined-quantity of the therapeutic composition. The quantity to be administered, and the particular route and formulation, is within the skill of determination of those in the clinical arts. A unit dose need not be administered as a single injection but may comprise continuous infusion over a set period of time.

B. Additional Anti-Cancer Therapies

In some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor, composition comprising a short-chain fatty acid, such as butyrate, and/or composition comprising a population of short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, provided herein may be administered in combination with at least one additional therapeutic. The additional therapy may be a cancer therapy such as radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, gene therapy, DNA therapy, viral therapy, RNA therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, nanotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, or a combination of the foregoing. The additional therapy may be in the form of adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy.

In some embodiments, the additional cancer therapy is the administration of a small molecule enzymatic inhibitor or anti-metastatic agent. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is the administration of side-effect limiting agents (e.g., agents intended to lessen the occurrence and/or severity of side effects of treatment, such as anti-nausea agents, etc.). In some embodiments, the additional cancer therapy is radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the additional cancer therapy is surgery. In some embodiments, the additional cancer therapy is a combination of radiation therapy and surgery. In some embodiments, the additional cancer therapy is gamma irradiation. In some embodiments, the additional cancer therapy is therapy targeting PBK/AKT/mTOR pathway, HSP90 inhibitor, tubulin inhibitor, apoptosis inhibitor, and/or chemopreventative agent. The additional cancer therapy may be one or more of the chemotherapeutic agents known in the art.

Various combinations may also be employed. For the example below the immune checkpoint inhibitor, butyrate, and/or butyrate-producing bacterial population is “A” and an additional cancer therapy is “B”:

A/B/A B/A/B B/B/A A/A/B A/B/B B/A/A A/B/B/B B/A/B/B B/B/B/A B/B/A/B A/A/B/B A/B/A/B A/B/B/A B/B/A/A B/A/B/A B/A/A/B A/A/A/B B/A/A/A A/B/A/A A/A/B/A

Administration of any compound or therapy of the present embodiments to a patient will follow general protocols for the administration of such compounds, taking into account the toxicity, if any, of the agents. Therefore, in some embodiments there is a step of monitoring toxicity that is attributable to combination therapy.

1. Chemotherapy

A wide variety of chemotherapeutic agents may be used in accordance with the present embodiments. The term “chemotherapy” refers to the use of drugs to treat cancer. A “chemotherapeutic agent” is used to connote a compound or composition that is administered in the treatment of cancer. These agents or drugs are categorized by their mode of activity within a cell, for example, whether and at what stage they affect the cell cycle. Alternatively, an agent may be characterized based on its ability to directly cross-link DNA, to intercalate into DNA, or to induce chromosomal and mitotic aberrations by affecting nucleic acid synthesis.

2. Radiotherapy

Other factors that cause DNA damage and have been used extensively include what are commonly known as γ-rays, X-rays, and/or the directed delivery of radioisotopes to tumor cells. Other forms of DNA damaging factors are also contemplated, such as microwaves, proton beam irradiation (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,760,395 and 4,870,287), and UV-irradiation. It is most likely that all of these factors affect a broad range of damage on DNA, on the precursors of DNA, on the replication and repair of DNA, and on the assembly and maintenance of chromosomes. Dosage ranges for X-rays range from daily doses of 50 to 200 roentgens for prolonged periods of time (3 to 4 wk), to single doses of 2000 to 6000 roentgens. Dosage ranges for radioisotopes vary widely, and depend on the half-life of the isotope, the strength and type of radiation emitted, and the uptake by the neoplastic cells.

3. Immunotherapy

The skilled artisan will understand that immunotherapies may be used in combination or in conjunction with the methods described herein. In the context of cancer treatment, immunotherapeutics generally rely on the use of immune effector cells and molecules to target and destroy cancer cells. Rituximab (RITUXAN®) is an example of an immunotherapy. The immune effector may be, for example, an antibody specific for a marker on the surface of a tumor cell. The antibody alone may serve as an effector of therapy or it may recruit other cells to actually effect cell killing. The antibody also may be conjugated to a drug or toxin (chemotherapeutic, radionuclide, ricin A chain, cholera toxin, pertussis toxin, etc.) and serve as a targeting agent. Alternatively, the effector may be a lymphocyte carrying a surface molecule that interacts, either directly or indirectly, with a tumor cell target. Various effector cells include cytotoxic T cells and NK cells

Antibody-drug conjugates have emerged as a breakthrough approach to the development of cancer therapeutics. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprise monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that are covalently linked to cell-killing drugs. This approach combines the high specificity of MAbs against their antigen targets with highly potent cytotoxic drugs, resulting in “armed” MAbs that deliver the payload (drug) to tumor cells with enriched levels of the antigen. Targeted delivery of the drug also minimizes its exposure in normal tissues, resulting in decreased toxicity and improved therapeutic index. The approval of two ADC drugs, ADCETRIS® (brentuximab vedotin) in 2011 and KADCYLA® (trastuzumab emtansine or T-DM1) in 2013 by FDA validated the approach. There are currently more than 30 ADC drug candidates in various stages of clinical trials for cancer treatment. As antibody engineering and linker-payload optimization are becoming more and more mature, the discovery and development of new ADCs are increasingly dependent on the identification and validation of new targets that are suitable to this approach and the generation of targeting MAbs. Two criteria for ADC targets are upregulated/high levels of expression in tumor cells and robust internalization.

In one aspect of immunotherapy, the tumor cell must bear some marker that is amenable to targeting, i.e., is not present on the majority of other cells. Many tumor markers exist and any of these may be suitable for targeting in the context of the present embodiments. Common tumor markers include CD20, carcinoembryonic antigen, tyrosinase (p9′7), gp68, TAG-72, HMFG, Sialyl Lewis Antigen, MucA, MucB, PLAP, laminin receptor, erb B, and p155. An alternative aspect of immunotherapy is to combine anticancer effects with immune stimulatory effects. Immune stimulating molecules also exist including: cytokines, such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-12, GM-CSF, gamma-IFN, chemokines, such as MIP-1, MCP-1, IL-8, and growth factors, such as FLT3 ligand.

4. Surgery

Approximately 60% of persons with cancer will undergo surgery of some type, which includes preventative, diagnostic or staging, curative, and palliative surgery. Curative surgery includes resection in which all or part of cancerous tissue is physically removed, excised, and/or destroyed and may be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as the treatment of the present embodiments, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and/or alternative therapies. Tumor resection refers to physical removal of at least part of a tumor. In addition to tumor resection, treatment by surgery includes laser surgery, cryosurgery, electrosurgery, and microscopically-controlled surgery (Mohs' surgery).

Upon excision of part or all of cancerous cells, tissue, or tumor, a cavity may be formed in the body. Treatment may be accomplished by perfusion, direct injection, or local application of the area with an additional anti-cancer therapy. Such treatment may be repeated, for example, every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days, or every 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 weeks or every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 months. These treatments may be of varying dosages as well.

5. Other Agents

It is contemplated that other agents may be used in combination with certain aspects of the present embodiments to improve the therapeutic efficacy of treatment. These additional agents include agents that affect the upregulation of cell surface receptors and GAP junctions, cytostatic and differentiation agents, inhibitors of cell adhesion, agents that increase the sensitivity of the hyperproliferative cells to apoptotic inducers, or other biological agents. Increases in intercellular signaling by elevating the number of GAP junctions would increase the anti-hyperproliferative effects on the neighboring hyperproliferative cell population. In other embodiments, cytostatic or differentiation agents can be used in combination with certain aspects of the present embodiments to improve the anti-hyperproliferative efficacy of the treatments. Inhibitors of cell adhesion are contemplated to improve the efficacy of the present embodiments. Examples of cell adhesion inhibitors are focal adhesion kinase (FAKs) inhibitors and Lovastatin. It is further contemplated that other agents that increase the sensitivity of a hyperproliferative cell to apoptosis, such as the antibody c225, could be used in combination with certain aspects of the present embodiments to improve the treatment efficacy.

Example 1—Characterization of Microbiome of Melanoma Patients

To better understand the role of the microbiome in response to immune checkpoint blockade in cancer patients, microbiome samples were prospectively collected from patients with metastatic melanoma going onto treatment with PD-1 blockade (n=112 patients). Oral (buccal) and gut (fecal) microbiome samples were collected at treatment initiation, and tumor biopsies and blood samples were collected when feasible to assess for genomic alterations as well as the density and phenotype of tumor-infiltrating and circulating immune cell subsets (FIG. 1A). Taxonomic profiling via 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on all available oral and gut samples, with metagenomic whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGS) on a subset. Patients were classified as responders (R) or non-responders (NR) based on imaging analysis via RECIST 1.1 criteria (Schwartz et al., 2016). Of note, patients in R versus NR groups were relatively similar with respect to age, gender, primary type, prior therapy, concurrent therapy and serum LDH (Table 3). The frequency of specific melanoma driver mutations and total mutational load were also similar between the groups (FIG. 5) (17).

The landscape of the oral and fecal microbiota in patients was first assessed with metastatic melanoma via 16S sequencing (V4 region), noting that both communities were relatively diverse, with a high abundance of Lactobacillales in the oral microbiome and Bacteroidales in the fecal microbiome (FIG. 1B). Bipartite network analysis (Muegge et al., 2011) demonstrated a clear separation of community structure between the oral and fecal microbiomes in terms of both matched and aggregate samples (FIGS. 1C and 6), suggesting that these communities are distinct.

Loss of diversity (dysbiosis) is associated with chronic health conditions (Turnbaugh et al., 2008; Qin et al., 2010) and cancer (Garrett et al., 2015; Segre et al., 2015; Drewes et al., 2016)), and is also associated with poor outcomes to certain forms of cancer therapy including allogeneic stem cell transplant (Taur et al., 2014). Based on these data diversity of the oral and gut microbiomes was tested in patients on PD-1 blockade, and found that diversity of the gut microbiome was significantly higher in R compared to NR using several indices (p=0.009, FIGS. 1D and 7). No significant differences were observed in the oral microbiome (p=0.11, FIG. 8). The relationship of diversity with progression-free survival (PFS) was tested in the cohort, demonstrating that patients with a high diversity in the fecal microbiome had significantly prolonged PFS compared to those with intermediate or low diversity (p=0.021 and 0.041, respectively; FIGS. 1E-F and 9). No differences in PFS were noted when comparing diversity of the oral microbiome (FIG. 10A-D).

Compositional differences in the microbiome may also influence cancer development and response to therapy (Sivan et al., 2015; Lida et al., 2013; Viaud et al., 2013; Vetizou et al., 2015), thus it was also sought to determine if differences existed in component microbiota in the oral or gut microbiomes of R and NR to PD-1 blockade. To test this, enrichment index (ei) of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) was calculated and compared R versus NR, demonstrating that distinct sets of bacteria were associated with response to anti-PD-1 therapy, with enrichment of Clostridiales in R and Bacteroidales in NR in the gut microbiome (p<0.001, FIGS. 2A-B and 11). No significant differences in enrichment were noted in the oral microbiome of R versus NR (FIG. 12A-B). To further explore these findings, high dimensional class comparisons were performed via linear discriminant analysis of effect size (LEfSe) (Segata et al., 2011), which again demonstrated differentially abundant bacteria in the fecal microbiome of R versus NR to PD-1 blockade, with Clostridiales/Ruminococcaceae enriched in R and Bacteroidales enriched in NR (FIG. 2C-D). No significant differences were observed in the oral microbiome between R and NR, with the exception of higher Bacteroidales in NR to PD-1 blockade (FIG. 13A-B). Pairwise comparisons were then performed for bacterial taxa at all levels by response. In addition to confirming the previous taxonomic differences, these analyses identified Faecalibacterium prausnitzii species as significantly enriched in R (FIG. 2E, Table 4). Metagenomic WGS further revealed enrichment of Faecalibacterium species in addition to others including Akkermansia in R, whilst Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Escherichia coli, and Anaerotruncus colihominis were enriched in NR (FIG. 2F, Table 4). Of note, the gut microbiome was shown to be relatively stable over time in a limited number of longitudinal samples tested (FIG. 14A-C).

Based on these insights, it was next asked whether bacterial composition and abundances within the gut and/or oral microbiomes could predict response to PD-1 blockade in the inventors' cohort. To do this, all identified OTUs were grouped into clusters of related OTUs (crOTUs) via construction of a phylogenetic tree from sequence alignment data (Peled et al., 2017). This technique involves comparison of abundances of different potential groupings of bacteria based on 16S sequence similarity and helps address the sparse distribution of OTU abundances observed in the absence of this approach (FIG. 15A-B). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of crOTU abundances within the gut and oral microbiomes was then performed without input of response data. Results demonstrated that patients segregated into 2 distinct clusters, with one cluster (cluster 1) comprised entirely of R and the other (cluster 2) comprised of a mixture of R and NR (p=0.02) with enrichment of Clostridiales in cluster 1 and Bacteroidales in cluster 2 (FIG. 3A-B). PFS was then assessed in each of these clusters, demonstrating a significantly shorter time to progression on PD-1 blockade among patients in cluster 1 compared to those in cluster 2 (p=0.02) (FIG. 3C). To better understand compositional differences in these clusters, pairwise comparisons of the gut microbiota were performed, and identified a pattern very similar to that seen when clustering by response, with Clostridiales/Ruminococcaceae enriched in cluster 1, and Bacteroidales enriched in cluster 2 (FIG. 3D, Table 5). Analysis of crOTUs in the oral microbiome revealed no apparent relationship to treatment response (FIG. 16A-B).

To explore the association of specific bacterial taxa and treatment response, the inventors compared PFS to anti-PD-1 therapy as it related to the “top hits” consistently observed across analyses (F. prausnitzii in R and Bacteroidales in NR), dichotomizing patients into high versus low categories based on the median relative abundance of these taxa in the gut microbiome. Patients with high F. prausnitzii abundance had a significantly prolonged PFS versus those with a low abundance (p=0.03). Conversely, patients with a high abundance of Bacteroidales had a shortened PFS compared to those with a low abundance (p=0.05) (FIG. 3E). This is in line with recently published data in a small cohort of patients on CTLA-4 blockade, where patients with a higher abundance of Faecalibacterium had a prolonged PFS compared to those with a higher abundance of Bacteroides in the gut microbiome (Chaput et al., 2017)). In addition, Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed in the inventors' cohort, demonstrating that the strongest predictors of response to PD-1 blockade were alpha-diversity (HR=3.94; 95% C.I.=1.02-12.52), abundance of F. prausnitzii (HR=2.92; 95% C.I.=1.08-7.89) and crOTU clusters (HR=3.80; 95% C.I.=1.09-13.21) in the fecal microbiome. These effects remained significant in multivariate analyses after adjusting for prior treatment with immunotherapy (Table 6).

Next, it was sought to gain insight into the mechanism through which the gut microbiome may influence response to anti-PD-1 therapy, and first conducted functional genomic profiling of gut microbiome samples via metagenomic WGS in R vs NR to therapy. Organism-specific gene hits were assigned to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) orthology (KO), and based on these annotations, metagenomes for each sample were reconstructed into metabolic pathways using the MetaCyc hierarchy of pathway classifications (Caspi et al., 2008; Kanehisa et al., 2000). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering on relative abundances of both KOs and predicted pathways identified three groups of patient samples, with response rates of 72.7%, 57.1%, and 42.9%. Comparisons of gene function abundances across these groups showed changes in metabolic functions, with anabolic functions predominating in R including amino acid biosynthesis (FIG. 3F), which may promote host immunity (Blacher et al., 2017), whereas catabolic functions predominated in NR (FIG. 3F, 17, Table 7).

There is clear evidence in pre-clinical models that differential composition of the gut microbiome may influence therapeutic responses to PD-1 blockade at the level of the tumor microenvironment (Sivan et al., 2015), thus the relationship between the gut microbiota and systemic and anti-tumor immune responses was interrogated in the cohort of patients on PD-1 blockade. To do this the tumor associated immune infiltrates were compared via multi-parameter IHC, and observed a higher density of CD8⁺ T lymphocytes in baseline samples of R versus NR (p=0.04), consistent with prior reports (FIGS. 4A and 18A-F) (Tumeh et al., 2014; Chen et al., 2016). Pairwise comparisons using Spearman rank correlation were then performed between specific bacterial taxa enriched in the gut microbiome of R and NR and immune markers in the tumor microenvironment, demonstrating a strong positive correlation between the abundance of Ruminococcaceae/Faecalibacterium in the gut and cytotoxic T-cell infiltrate in the tumor, and a strong negative correlation with Bacteroidales (FIGS. 4B-C and 19-20). Analysis of systemic immune responses via flow cytometry and cytokine assays revealed that patients with a high abundance of Ruminococcaceae in the gut had higher levels of effector CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in the systemic circulation with a preserved cytokine response to PD-1 blockade, whereas patients with a higher abundance of Bacteroidales in the gut microbiome had higher levels of regulatory T cells (Treg) and myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in the systemic circulation, with a blunted cytokine response (FIGS. 4D and 21-22). To better understand the influence of compositional differences in the gut microbiome on antigen processing and presentation within the tumor microenvironment, multiplex IHC targeting the myeloid compartment was performed (Tsujikawa et al., 2017). In these studies, patients with a high abundance of Faecalibacterium in the gut microbiome had a higher density of immune cells and markers of antigen processing and presentation compared to those with a high abundance of Bacteroidales (FIGS. 4E-F and 23-24), suggesting a possible mechanism through which the gut microbiome may modulate anti-tumor immune responses (Sivan et al., 2015).

Placing these insights in the context of published literature, it was proposed that the gut microbiome modulates responses to treatment with anti-PD-1 therapy (FIG. 4G). Specifically, it was proposed that patients with a “favorable” gut microbiome (with high diversity and abundance of Ruminococcaceae/Faecalibacterium) have enhanced systemic and anti-tumor immune responses mediated by enhanced antigen presentation at the level of the lymph node and tumor, as well as preserved effector T cell function in the periphery and the tumor microenvironment. In contrast, patients with an “unfavorable” gut microbiome (with low diversity and high relative abundance of Bacteroidales) have impaired systemic and anti-tumor immune responses mediated by limited intratumoral infiltration of both lymphoid and myeloid elements, weakened antigen presentation capacity, and skewing towards immunoregulatory cellular and humoral elements in the periphery, including Treg and MDSC. These findings highlight the potential for parallel modulation of the gut microbiome to significantly enhance checkpoint blockade efficacy.

Example 2—Materials and Methods

Patient Cohort:

An initial cohort of 112 patients with metastatic melanoma were included in this study. These patients were treated with anti-PD1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy at The University of Texas (UT) MD Anderson Cancer Center between April 2015 and March 2016 and signed voluntary informed consent for collection and analysis of tumor, blood and microbiome samples under Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved protocols. Patients who were diagnosed with uveal melanoma (n=10), or who got anti-PD1 in combination with targeted agents or with adoptive T-cell transfer therapy (n=8), or in whom response could not be determined (n=6) were excluded from this analysis. Electronic medical charts were reviewed independently by three investigators to assign clinical response group and document other clinical parameters (Table 3). The primary outcome of clinical response (responder) (R) was defined by radiographic evidence of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) per RECIST 1.1 criteria for at least 6 months. Lack of a clinical response (non responder) (NR) was defined by disease progression (PD) on serial CT scans or a clinical benefit lasting less than 6 months (minimal benefit).

Microbiome Sample Collection:

Bucccal samples were collected during routine pre-treatment clinic visits using the Catch-All Sample Collection Swab (Epicentre, Madison, Wis.). All patients were also given outpatient OMNIgene GUT kit (OMR-200) (DNA Genotek fecal sample collection kits and asked to return). Importantly, this kit helps maintain microbiome profile stability at room temperature for up to 60 days. All samples were frozen at −80 degree C. before DNA extraction and analysis.

The final cohort consisted of buccal samples collected from 87 patients, of whom 52 were R and 34 were NR, and fecal samples collected from 43 patients (of whom 30 were R and 13 were NR. All but 2 buccal and 2 fecal samples were collected at baseline. These were included as a baseline surrogate as a subset analysis on longitudinal samples which showed no change after treatment intervention in this cohort.

Tumor and Blood Sample Collection:

Available tumor samples (n=23) at matched pre-treatment time points were obtained from the MD Anderson Cancer Center Department of Pathology archive and Institutional Tissue Bank. After samples underwent quality control checks for percent tumor viability by an MD Anderson pathologist, the inventors included 17 samples from R and 6 from NR. Blood samples collected and stored for research (protocols previously listed) at baseline (n=11) were also queried for study inclusion yielding samples from 8R and 3 NR.

DNA Extraction and Bacterial 16S Sequencing:

Preparation and sequencing was done in collaboration with the Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research (CMMR) at The Baylor College of Medicine. 16S rRNA gene sequencing methods were adapted from the methods developed for the NIH-Human Microbiome Project (A framework for human microbiome research, 2012).

Briefly, bacterial genomic DNA was extracted using MO BIO PowerSoil DNA Isolation Kit (MO BIO Laboratories, USA). The 16S rDNA V4 region was amplified by PCR and sequenced in the MiSeq platform (Illumina, Inc, San Diego, Calif.) using the 2×250 bp paired-end protocol yielding pair-end reads that overlap almost completely. The primers used for amplification contain adapters for MiSeq sequencing and single-end barcodes allowing pooling and direct sequencing of PCR products (Caporaso et al., 2012).

Quality filtered sequences with >97% identity were clustered into bins known as Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs), using open-reference OTU picking (Edgar, 2010; Rognes et al., 2016; Caporaso et al., 2010), and classified at the species level against the NCBI 16S ribosomal RNA 16S sequence database using ncbi-blast+ package 2.5.0. Phylogenetic classification was obtained from the NCBI taxonomy database. The relative abundance of each OTU was determined for all samples. Taxonomic classification was validated using the Greengenes, SILVA and RDP databases.

A phylogenetic tree was empirically constructed using the FastTree algorithm (Price et al., 2010) in the QIIME software package, as described previously (Peled et al., 2016). Briefly, all nodes of the tree were considered as clusters of related OTU (crOTU), where the abundance of each crOTU was the sum of abundances of its member OTUs. The trees were constructed from a sequence alignment of all observed OTU's within both oral 1152 (97.5%% of 1182 OTUs) and gut 1434 (98.6% of 1455 OTUs) microbiomes. The resultant oral and gut microbiome crOTU trees contained 1152 and 1434 nodes respectively.

Taxonomical alpha-diversity was estimated using the Inverse Simpson Index. Rarefaction limits were set based on the least number of reads in all oral (13000) and fecal samples (8000) that were analyzed, where D=1/Σ_(k=1) ^(S)pi², where pi is the proportion of the total species S that is comprised by the species i. Since, it captures variance of the taxonomical abundance distribution, it is often considered to be among the most meaningful and robust diversity metrics (Shannon et al., 2013).

Bipartite Network to Compare and Contrast the Oral and Gut Microbiota:

The biparitie network was constructed using make_biparitite_network.py script in QIIME using default parameters (Caporaso et al., 2010) and then visualized in Cytoscape using edge-weighted spring-embedded layout. 2 networks were generated, using all buccal and fecal samples (FIG. 6) and using only paired samples (FIG. 1A), when both samples were obtained from the same patients.

Enrichment Index to Visualize Differences in Oral and Gut Microbiome Between R and NR:

OTU representation index (ri): is used to quantify the representation of each species in R; (riR), and NR (riNR), as the proportion of samples within each group that had non-zero abundance for a particular species. The values of ri ranged from 0 (OTU not found in any sample within a group) to 1 (OTU found in all samples within a group).

OTU Enrichment Index (Ei):

was used to quantify and compare the enrichment of each OTU in R vs NR, where ei=(riR−riNR)/(riR+riNR). This index has values ranging from −1 and +1. When a species is identified in all R samples but not in any NR samples, ei=+1. The contrary is true for ei=−1.

The distribution ei scores was used to classify all species into 3 sets, Set 1-differentially enriched in R, Set 2—found in both groups, and Set 3-differentially enriched in NR. Within each set, all OTU's were sorted by abundance and then visualized as a heatmap of log(10)-transformed OTU abundances in all sample given as columns. Thresholds for the OTU abundances (low, medium and high) were derived from the distribution of the abundances for all OTUs.

Statistical Assessment of Biomarkers Using LEfSe:

The LEfSe method of analysis first compares abundances of all bacterial clades between R and NR in the oral and gut microbiomes, using the Kruskal-Wallis test at a pre-defined a of 0.05, Significantly different vectors resulting from the comparison of abundances (e.g., Faecalibacterium relative abundance) between groups are used as input to linear discriminant analysis (LDA), which produces an effect size (FIG. 2B). The primary advantage of LEfSe over traditional statistical tests is that an effect size is produced in addition to a p-value. This allows sorting of results of multiple tests by the magnitude of the difference between groups. In the case of hierarchically organized bacterial clades, there may be a lack of correlation between p values and effect sizes due to differences in the number of hypotheses considered at different levels since a greater number of comparisons would need to be made at the genus and species levels when compared to the phylum and class levels.

Metagenomic Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) Sequencing:

This was also done in collaboration with CMMR and Metagenopolis (MGP). Briefly, metagenomic sequencing data provides species-level resolution of the bacteria, and the near-complete genomic content of the collection of microbes in a particular sample, also referred to as the pangenome (depth of sequencing directly relates to the amount of the pangenome that is covered in a particular dataset).

Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequencing utilizes the same extracted bacterial genomic DNA used for 16S rRNA gene compositional analysis. However, WGS sequencing achieves a higher depth of sequencing by employing a more powerful sequencing platform. Individual libraries were constructed from each sample and loaded into the HiSeq platform (Illumina) and sequenced using the 2×100 bp pair-end read protocol. The process of quality filtering, trimming, and demultiplexing was carried out by in-house pipeline developed by assembling publicly available tools such as Casava v1.8.3 (IIlumina) for the generation of fastqs, Trim Galore and cutadapt for adapter and quality trimming, and PRINSEQ for sample demultiplexing.

Gut microbiota analysis was performed using the quantitative metagenomics pipeline developed at MGP. This approach allow the analysis of the microbiota at the gene and species level. High quality reads were selected and cleaned to eliminate possible contaminants as human reads. These were mapped and counted using the MetaHIT hs_9.9 M genes catalogue (Li et al., 2014) using the METEOR Studio in house pipeline using a two steps procedure: first using uniquely mapping reads, then attributing shared reads (mapping different genes from the catalogue) according to their mapping ratio using unique reads. Mapping was performed using a >95% identity threshold to account gene variability and the no redundant nature of the catalogue.

After a downsizing step at 14M reads (to correct for the different sequencing depth) and normalization (RPKM), a gene frequency profile matrix was obtained which was used as the reference to perform the analyses using MetaOMineR, a suite of R packages developed at MGP and dedicated to the analysis of large quantitative metagenomics datasets.

The hs_9.9 M gene catalogue has been clustered into 1438 MGS (MetaGenomic Species, groups of >500 genes that co-vary in abundance among hundreds samples and thus belong to the same microbial species (Nielson et al., 2014). The taxonomical annotation of the MGS was performed using the homology of its genes with previously sequenced organisms (using blastN against nt and wgs databanks). MGS signal among samples was calculated as the mean or median signal of 50 marker genes. A MGS frequency profile matrix was constructed using the MGS mean signals and after normalization (sum of the MGS frequency of a sample=1).

Reads whose genomic coordinates overlap with known KEGG orthologs were tabulated, and KEGG modules were calculated step-wise and determined to be complete if 65% of the reaction steps were present per detected species and for the metagenome. Pathways were constructed for each taxa and metagenome by calculating the minimum set through MinPath resulting from the gene orthologs present.

Pathway Metagenome Databases (PGDB):

Databases were generated for each WGS sample using the PathoLogic program from the Pathway Tools software [PMID:26454094]. Inputs for the program were produced using predicted gene functions based on KEGG orthology and their taxonomy assignment in the metagenomes Thus, if the same function (KO group) had several taxonomic annotations, each of the annotations was considered as a separate gene. The definition of the KO group in KEGG was used as the gene function and the first name of the KO group, if available, was used as the gene name. EC numbers were assigned to the gene according to annotations of the KO group by the numbers in KEGG. The metabolic reconstructions were made in the automatic mode as described in the Pathway Tools manual with the option −tip to automatically predict transport reactions. The DOMAIN value ‘TAX-2 (Bacteria)’ was used as the organism class for the PGDB and the CODON-TABLE value to be equal 1. The generated PGDB were summarized and compared using Pathway Tools. The generated PGDBs are available upon request.

Statistical Analyses:

Alpha-diversity was compared between R and NR using the Wilcoxon rank-sum or Mann-Whitney (MW) test. All patients were classified into high, intermediate or low diversity groups based on tertiles of the distribution. Pairwise comparisons of taxonomic abundances by both response and cluster were conducted using the MW test. Within each level (phylum, class, order, family, genus and species), the low abundance (<0.1%) and low variance taxa (<0.001) were excluded. Adjustments for multiple comparisons were done using the false-discovery rate method at an alpha level of 0.05. An effect size was estimated for each taxon as U/√in, where U is test statistic for the MW test, and n is the total sample size (n=43) (Fritz et al., 2012), and volcano plots were generated for log 10(FDR-adjusted p values) on the y-axis and median-adjusted effect sizes on the x-axis. In addition, patients were also classified as having high or low abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii or Bacteroidales based on the median abundance of these taxa in the gut microbiome. Kaplan-Meier estimates were estimated for each group and compared using the log-rank test. Hazard ratios were estimated using the Cox-proportional hazard model.

In general the MW test was used for comparisons between binary outcome variables (R vs NR), and the Spearman correlation test was used to compare continuous variables. Additionally, the Fishers exact test was used when proportions were compared between binary variables. Hypothesis testing was done using both one-sided and two-sided tests as appropriate at a 95% significance level. All analyses were conducted in R and GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, Calif.).

Immunohistochemistry:

Briefly, sections (4 μm thickness) were prepared from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues. The presence of tumor was confirmed by a pathologist on hematoxylin & eosin-stained slides (H&E). Slides were then stained using a Leica Bond RX automated slide stainer (Leica Biosystems, Buffalo Grove, Ill.) for CD3 (n=17)(DAKO, Santa Clara, Calif., 1:100), CD8 (n=21)(Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass., 1:100), PD-1 (n=16)(Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:250), PD-L1(n=15)(1:100, Cell Signaling, Danvers, Mass.), GzmB (n=17), RORγT (n=14)(1:800, EMD Millipore, Billerica, Mass.), FoxP3 (n=16)(1:50, BioLegend, San Diego, Calif.) and counter-stained with hematoxylin. Stained slides were then scanned using an automated Aperio Slide Scanner (Leica), and the density of the immune infiltrate was quantified in tumor regions using a modified version of the default “Nuclear v9” algorithm and expressed as positive counts/mm2 for CD3, CD8, PD-1, FoxP3, and RORγT and as an H-score for PD-L1 which takes into account a percentage of positive cells multiplied by their intensity on a scale of 1 to 3 for a score between 1-300.

Flow cytometry was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMCs were stained with CD3 (UCHT1, BioLegend), CD4 (SK3, eBioscience, Thermo Scientific), CD8 (RPAT8, BD Biosciences, Mississauga, Canada), FoxP3 (PCH101, eBioscience), CD127 (HIL-7R-M21, BD Biosciences), CD19 (HIB-19, BioLegend), CD14 (61D3, eBioscience), HLA-DR (L243, BD Biosciences), CD33 (WM53, BD Biosciences), CD56 (NCAM1, BD Biosciences), and CD11b (ICRF44, BD Biosciences) and acquisition was carried out on a Fortessa Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences). Analysis was performed with FlowJo version 10 (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, Oreg.). version 10 (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, Oreg.).

Multiplex Immunohistochemistry:

Sequential 12-marker myeloid multiplex immunohistochemistry was performed as described previously (Tsujikawa, Cell Reports, 2017). Briefly, FFPE sections underwent sequential staining, scanning and destaining cycles using AEC as chromagen and scanned with an Aperio Slide Scanner (Leica). Following staining and scanning with hematoxylin for nuclei, CD68, Tryptase, CSF1R, DC-SIGN, CD66b, CD83, CD163, HLA-DR, PD-L1, CD3/CD20/CD56, and CD45. CD45-positive regions of all images were then extracted using ImageScope, aligned, overlayed and segmented using CellProfiler and layers pseudocolored for analysis and quantification using FCS Express.

Cytokine Multiplexing:

41 plasma cytokine levels were assessed using multiplex bead assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, Calif.). Cytokines, chemokines and soluble mediators quantified included IL-1b, IL-1ra, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12(p70), IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, Eotaxin, FGF basic, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFN-g, IP-10, MIP-1a, PDGF-bb, MIP-1b, RANTES, TNF-α, VEGF, IL-2ra, HGF, TRAIL, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-23, SDF1/CXCL12, CCL22, MCP-1/CCL2, Gro-a/CXCL1, ENA78/CXCLS, EGF, TGF-b1, TGF-b2, and TGF-b3.

Example 3—Modulation of the Gut Microbiome Enhances Anti-Tumor Responses in a Murine Melanoma Model

Next, it was sought to use insights gained from human studies to test the hypothesis that modulating the gut microbiome could enhance anti-tumor responses in a murine model of melanoma. Studies were performed to determine if modulation of the gut microbiome to enrich for short-chain fatty acid producing bacteria would enhance anti-tumor responses.

In these studies, a murine tumor model with a common driver mutation that is found in melanoma (BRAF) was used. The cells were implanted into genetically identical mice (C57BL6) purchased from 2 different vendors (Taconic farms versus Jackson laboratories) that differ significantly in their microbiome (with enriched short chain fatty acid producing bacteria in Taconic mice). The BRAF(V600E)/Pten^(−/−) tumor cells were implanted into Taconic and Jackson mice, and substantial differences were observed in tumor growth (FIG. 33A) and survival (FIG. 33B) in these genetically identical mice with differing microbiomes. Interestingly, modulation of the gut microbiome by co-housing Taconic and Jackson (FIG. 33C) (as mice are normally copropahgic) or by fecal transplant abrogated these differences, suggesting that modulation of the gut microbiome can alter tumor growth in the BRAF-mutant tumor model. As mice are copraphagic, cohousing leads the emrgence of a merged microbiome that draws from both individual microbiomes. 16S sequencing was performed on single-housed versus co-housed Taconic and Jackson mice, demonstrating distinct microbiomes in the single-housed mice and co-housed mice (FIGS. 33D & E), confirming modulation of the gut microbiome in these mice.

Based on the data in human patients, it was tested whether oral administration of butyrate (a short chain fatty acid) would enhance anti-tumor responses by providing adequate substrate to facilitate a favorable gut microbiome. In these studies, butyrate was administered orally to Taconic and Jackson mice. Treatment with butyrate was associated with an enhanced anti-tumor response in these studies (FIG. 33F), further suggesting that modulation of the gut microbiome may enhance anti-tumor responses.

Thus, these studies provide novel data regarding the diversity and composition of the oral and gut microbiome in patients with metastatic melanoma on systemic therapy, and importantly demonstrate that differential bacterial “signatures” exist in responders versus non-responders to immune checkpoint blockade (specifically PD-1 based therapy).

Example 4—Fecal Microbiota Transplantation

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) of a Favorable Gut Microbiome in Germ-Free (GF) Mice Reduces Tumor Growth (FMT1):

To investigate a causal link between a “favorable” gut microbiome and response to immune checkpoint blockade, Fecal Microbiome Transplantation (FMT) experiments were performed in germ-free (GF) recipient mice. A well-established syngeneic model of injectable murine melanoma driven by oncogenic BRAFv600E expression and PTEN deletion (BP cells) was used. In the first experiment (FMT1), it was sought to determine if FMT could have any impact on tumor growth. GF mice (n=3 per group) were transplanted by oral gavage with stool from a responder (R-FMT group) or from a non-responder (NR-FMT group) to anti-PD-1 therapy. Control group mice were transplanted with PBS alone. Two weeks after FMT, each mouse was injected subcutaneously with 8×10⁵ BP cells, and tumor growth was checked twice a week (FIG. 25A). Blood and fecal pellets were collected at different time points during the experiment.

Results from FMT1 demonstrated significantly delayed tumor growth by day 14 in R-FMT group compared to mice in those transplanted with stool from NR to anti-PD-1 (p=0.04, FIG. 1B).

Next, the systemic impact of FMT on the immune system was investigated using multicolor fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. Notably, mice receiving R-FMT had a higher percentage of innate effector cells (expressing CD45⁺ CD11b⁺Ly6G⁺) and lower frequency of suppressive myeloid cells (expressing CD11b⁺ CD11c⁺) in the spleen compared to mice in the NR-FMT group (FIG. 26). These data suggested that specific subpopulations in the innate immune compartment play a role in the anti-tumoral response elicited by transplantation of a favorable gut microbiota in GF recipient mice.

This conclusion was further confirmed by quantitative confocal imaging on gut and tumor sections from mice that received FMT. Indeed, tumors of mice receiving R-FMT had a higher density of CD45⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells than mice receiving NR-FMT (FIGS. 27A, and 27C upper panel). Moreover, FMT from R locally increased the number of CD45⁺ immune and CD8⁺ T cells in the gut compared to NR-FMT (FIGS. 27B and 27C lower panel).

Additionally, taxonomic characterization using 16S sequencing revealed stark differences in the gut microbiome of germ-free mice before and after fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), with major increases in Bacteroidales and Clostridiales taxa. As expected, control mice that received PBS, harbored markedly different taxa in their gut microbiome when compared to mice that received stool from responders (R-FMT) or non-responders (NR-FMT) to anti-PD1 therapy. Furthermore, the gut microbiomes of mice receiving R-FMT and NR-FMT remained fairly stable over time post transplantation.

FMT of a Favorable Gut Microbiome in GF Mice Reduces Tumor Growth and Enhances Response to α-PD-1,1 Therapy (FMT2):

In the second FMT experiment (FMT2), it was asked if the microbiome from an R patient could enhance response to immune therapy when transplanted in mouse model of melanoma. To address this question, GF mice were transplanted by oral gavage with stool from a responder (n=2, R-FMT group) or from a non-responder (n=3, NR-FMT group) to anti-PD-1 therapy. Control group mice (n=2) were transplanted with PBS alone. Two weeks after FMT, each mouse was injected with 8×10⁵ BP cells and tumor growth was checked twice a week. When tumor volume reached 250-500 mm³, mice were treated with anti-PD-L1 antibody, administered by intra-peritoneal injection (FIG. 28A).

Results from FMT2 demonstrated significantly delayed tumor growth by day 14 in R-FMT group compared to mice in those transplanted with stool from NR to anti-PD-1 (p=0.04, FIG. 28B). Importantly, mice transplanted with R-FMT also exhibited improved responses to anti-PD-L1 therapy (FIG. 28C) compared to mice that were transplanted with stool from NR (NR-FMT).

Next, the mechanism through which the gut microbiome may influence systemic and anti-tumor immune responses was determined. FACS analysis of tumors and spleen immune infiltrates demonstrated that mice receiving R-FMT had higher percentage of CD45⁺ myeloid cells infiltrating the tumor compared to mice in the NR-FMT group (FIG. 29A). In particular, a higher percentage of innate effector cells (expressing CD45⁺ CD11b⁺Ly6G⁺) and lower frequency of suppressive myeloid cells (expressing CD11b⁺ CD11c⁺) were found in tumor immune infiltrates from R-FMT compared to NR-FMT (FIG. 29B-E). These data correlated specific subpopulations of the innate immune compartment to the anti-tumoral response induced by FMT from an R patient, both at peripheral (as showed in FMT1) and tumor level.

An increase in the frequency of RORγT⁺ Th17 cells in the tumor was also detected in NR-FMT mice (FIGS. 30A and B), in line with observations made in tumors from patients who failed to respond to PD-1 blockade. Moreover, mice receiving NR-FMT also demonstrated higher levels of regulatory CD4⁺ FOXP3⁺ T cells (FIG. 30C) and CD4⁺ IL-17⁺ (FIG. 31D) cells in the spleen, suggesting impaired host immune responses.

Mass cytometry (CyTOF) analysis using t-SNE dimension reduction was performed on tumors from mice, and demonstrated up-regulation of PD-L1 in the tumor microenvironment of mice receiving R-FMT versus NR-FMT (FIG. 31A), suggesting the development of a “hot” tumor microenvironment. CyTOF analysis also confirmed that distinct myeloid subpopulation preferentially infiltrate tumors in R-FMT or non-responders NR-FMT (FIG. 31B)

Longitudinal sampling and microbiome characterization of fecal pellets from FMT2 experiment showed results similar to FMT1, with relative stability in the gut microbiome over time.

Stability of the microbiome in germ-free mice post engraftment with FMT.

16S sequencing was performed on longitudinal fecal pellets collected from germ-free mice that received stool from a patient who responded to PD-1 blockade to versus a patient who did not. Examination of phylogenetic taxa at the order level and comparison of baseline pellets with those collected two weeks after FMT completion revealed successful engraftment. Moreover, persistence of the most abundant orders over time suggested that the engrafted microbiome was stable during the whole experiment.

Based on the hypotheses that certain bacteria within the R-FMT mice flora help slow tumor growth, and that certain bacteria in NR-FMT mice flora help stimulate tumor growth, we compared OTUs that were either present in R-FMT mice or NR-FMT mice only (or also missing from control mice). These were done in representative mice from each group from the 2 FMT experiments. The inventors also looked at the OTUs that showed consistent transfer results in both FMT experiments. This analysis revealed that OTUs classified as Acetanaerobacterium elongatum, Alistipes timonensis, Anaerocolumna jejuensis, Anaerocolumna xylanovorans, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides nordii, Bacteroides stercoris, Blautia faecis, Blautia glucerasea, Blautia hansenii, Blautia obeum, Blautia schinkii, Caproiciproducens galactitolivorans, Christensenella minuta, Clostridium aldenense, Clostridium alkalicellulosi, Clostridium amygdalinum, Clostridium oroticum, Clostridium polysaccharolyticum, Clostridium xylanolyticum, Coprobacillus cateniformis, Emergencia timonensis, Eubacterium hallii, Extibacter muris, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Ihubacter massiliensis, Neglecta timonensis, Novibacillus thermophilus, Oscillibacter ruminantium, Papillibacter cinnamivorans, Parabacteroides johnsonii, Parasporobacterium paucivorans, Peptococcus niger, Pseudoflavonifractor capillosus, Robinsoniella peoriensis, Ruminococcus gauvreauii, Ruminococcus gnavus, Ruminococcus torques, and Slackia piriformis were found only in R-FMT mice in both experiments.

FMT from different R and NR donors in germ-free GF mice confirms the link between R microbiota and reduced tumor growth (FMT3).

To validate the finding that a “favorable” gut microbiome restrains tumor growth when transplanted in GF mice, an experiment was performed similar to FMT1 using stools from different R and NR patients. In this third experiment (FMT3), GF mice were transplanted by oral gavage with stool from one responder ((n=1, R-FMT group) or from one non-responder ((n=1, NR-FMT group) to anti-PD-1 therapy. Control group mice were transplanted with PBS alone (n=3, Control group). Two weeks after FMT, each mouse was injected subcutaneously with 2.5×10⁵ BP cells, and tumor growth was checked twice a week (FIG. 32A). Blood and fecal pellets were collected at different time points during the experiment.

Results from FMT3 confirmed significantly delayed tumor growth by day 14 in R-FMT group compared to mice in those transplanted with stool from NR to anti-PD-1 (FIG. 32B). Importantly, this difference was maintained over time until the end point (FIG. 32C).

Example 5—Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Methods

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT):

All animal studies were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee, The UT at MD Anderson Cancer Center, in compliance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. B6 germ-free mice for murine studies were bought from the gnotobiotic facility of Baylor College of Medicine (Houston). All mice were transported in specialized autoclaved shipping cages, and were housed at MD Anderson Cancer Center mouse facility. All cages, bottles with stoppers and animal drinking water were autoclaved before being used. Food and bedding were double irradiated and tested to ensure sterility prior to being used in the experiment. Within each treatment category, a control group of mice received only pre-reduced PBS. All other mice from experimental groups received FMT from either an R donor or a NR donor, with each donor sample delivered to one, two or three mice. 200 μl cleared supernatant from 0.1 g/μ1 human fecal suspension was obtained using a 100 μm strainer and gavaged into mice for 3 doses over 1 week, followed by a break of 1-week to allow microbiome establishment. Mice were then injected with BP syngeneic tumor cell line (Day 14), and animals were treated with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (purified low endotoxin, functional formulation, B7-H1, CD274, Leinco Technologies Inc.) once tumors reached ˜250-500 mm³. Tumor growth/survival was assessed. Fecal specimens, blood, spleens and tumors were harvested and processed for further analysis.

Flow Cytometry of Mouse Tumor and Spleen:

Tumors were isolated and minced into small pieces and digested for 1 hour in RPMI containing collagenase A (2 mg/mL; Roche, Cat. No. 11 088 793 001) and DNase I (40 units/mL; Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No. D5025) with agitation at 37° C. Cell suspensions were passed through a cell strainer, washed in 2% RPMI supplemented with 2 mmol/L EDTA and resuspended in FACS buffer (PBS containing 2% heat-inactivated FBS with 2 mM EDTA supplementation). Spleens were smashed in FACS buffer and red blood cells lysed by incubation in ACK buffer (Gibco) for 2 minutes at room temperature. The pellet was then washed and resuspended in FACS buffer. For analysis of cell surface markers, the following antibodies were used: CD45 (30-F11, BD Biosciences), CD11b (M1/70, eBioscience), CD11c (HL3, BD Pharmigen), Ly6G (RB6-8C5, eBioscience), Ly6C (AL-21, BD Bioscience), F4/80 (BM8, eBioscience). Cells were labeled with LIVE/DEAD viability stain (Life Technologies) and samples were acquired on a LSR Fortessa X20 flow cytometry (BD). Doublets were distinguished and excluded by plotting FSC area versus FSC height and data analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

Immunofluorescence on FFPE Samples:

Xenograft tumors, mouse gut and spleens were harvested, fixed in buffered 10% formalin first (4 hours at room temperature), then switched to 70% ethanol and stored at 4° C. Tissues were embedded in paraffin and 5 μm sections were mounted on positively charged slides. Tissues were deparaffinized and antigen retrieval was performed in pH 6.0 Citrate buffer (Dako) using a microwave. Sections were blocked in blocking buffer (5% Goat Serum/0.3% BSA/0.01% Triton in PBS) followed by primary antibody incubation overnight at 4° C. Sections were washed and then incubated with Alexa-conjugated secondary antibody (1:500, Molecular Probes) for 1 hour at room temperature. Coverslips were washed 3 times in PBS/0.01% Triton and then incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature in Hoechst stain (1:5000, Invitrogen). After 3 washes in PBS, the samples were mounted in ProLog Diamond mounting media (Molecular Probe). Images where captured using a Nikon A1R+ confocal microscope equipped with a four solid state laser system and a 20× objective.

CyTOF:

Tumors were manually dissociated, digested using liberase TL (Roche) and DNase I for 30 minutes at 37° C., and passed through a 70 μm mesh filter. Samples were then centrifuged using a discontinuous gradient of Histopaque 1119 (Sigma-Aldrich) and RMPI media. Single cell suspensions of up to 2.5×10⁶ cells per sample were Fc-receptor blocked and stained with a surface antibody mixture for 30 minutes at 4° C. Metal-conjugated antibodies were purchased from Fluidigm or conjugated using X8 polymer antibody labeling kits according to the manufacturer's protocol (Fluidigm). Samples were stained using 2.5 μm 194Pt-cisplatin (Fluidigm) for 1 minute and washed twice with 2% FCS PBS. Cells were barcoded using a palladium mass tag barcoding approach according to the manufacturer's protocol (Fluidigm) and combined after two washes with 2% FCS PBS. Cells were then fixed and permeabilized using FoxP3 transcription factor staining kit according to the manufacturer's protocol (eBioscience). Samples were then stained using a mixture of antibodies against intracellular targets for 30 minutes at room temperature. Samples were washed twice with 2% FCS PBS and then incubated overnight in a 1.6% PFA/100 nM iridium/PBS solution prior to acquisition using a Helios mass cytometer (Fluidigm).

Mass cytometry data were bead normalized and debarcoded using Fluidigm software. Total live and CD45+ cells were manually gated using FlowJo. t-SNE analyses were performed on total live and CD45+ cells using the Cyt package in Matlab. Data were arcsinh transformed using a co-efficient of 4 and randomly down-sampled to 50,000 events per sample prior to t-SNE analysis. t-SNE plots for each experimental group were then generated by merging samples from each group and displaying an equal number of randomly down-sampled events (50,000) from each treatment group.
